Abstract

In Chap. 4, we showed that known parameterized complexity classes such as \(\text {para}\text {-}\text {NP}\) and \(\text {para}\text {-}\text {co-}\text {NP}\) can be used to characterize many-to-one fpt-reductions to SAT and UNSAT.

If I had an hour to solve a problem, I’d spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes thinking about solutions.

— Albert Einstein
